This is my most recent completely finished and photographed skein. The intention was to use it for my final project. But there's only 125 yards or so, and given that I need to have a 10 yard sample skein of it means I only have maybe 110 workable yards (the extra 5 for starting and tail yarn waste) so I'm not really sure what I'm going to make with it. Maybe a single lace fingerless mitten?Anyway, it will get it's own post with progress pictures once I've done all the knitting. And maybe I should dye it? gah. dunnoh has to be nature dyed. but what to use? Anyway enough babble.Fine Shetland tussah silk blend by SpinHeartSpin, on Flickr

I spun up another skein of my dorset, but that's boring. THIS is way cooler!

Carded some dorset that I dyed chartreuse with blue superwash from Sheep Shed, and plied with that self-same superwash. At the end, I had about 100 inches of the chartreuse/blue left over! Almost like I'd planned it or something I'd hoped for aran-ish, and more or less got what I wanted with some fluffy, bulky sections. This photo is pre-bath, so it looks much better now.Going to become a sideways rib hat for my brother, assuming I have enough, as I haven't measured it yet5.

I also learned how to make rolags using more Sheep Shed superwash. Ok, ok, so these are actually punis, because I got over-enthsuiastic about rolling them tightly. Each set weighs 2.4 ounces. Again, almost like I'd planned it

I'm spinning up the black superwash/white nylon into a double-knit/light worsted (I hope ) just for entertainment purposes and to practice my longdraw. Even the tightest punis draw ok. The beige and brown will end up an entrelac hat for my boyfriend someday.

SOOOOOO happy to be able to contribute to FIBRE FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

PS: Belladune, that yarn is super-gorgeous and I want to smoosh it in my hands very badly! Nikschaf, I recently read "Teach Yourself Handspinning Visually" and one of the featured novelty yarns was a big thick and thin like yours plied with a thin single. It was very cool looking with the different textures.
